Grilling vegetables seems to enhance and condense their flavour, adding a smokiness that makes them hard to resist. The olives add a salty contrast.

  • Roma tomato, 16 tomato(s), halved
  • Zucchini, 2 medium, thinly sliced
  • Red capsicum, 2 capsicum(s), seeded and cut into strips
  • Asparagus, 16 spear(s), trimmed
  • Olive oil spray, 1 spray(s)
  • Mixed salad greens, 200 g, baby
  • Black olives, drained, 16 olive(s), pitted
  • Basil, 1 cup(s), shredded
  • Garlic, 2 clove(s), crushed
  • Olive oil, extra virgin, 2 tablespoon(s)
  • White wine vinegar, 4 tablespoon(s), or verjuice

Method

To make the vinaigrette, combine garlic, olive oil and verjuice or white wine vinegar in a screw-top jar and shake well to combine.

Heat a barbecue or chargrill to hot. Spray the tomato, zucchini, capsicum and asparagus with olive oil, then grill for 2 to 3 minutes each side, or until cooked through.
